Kennedy, autism, and fascism

At Public Notice, Noah Berlatsky writes about Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and autism:

When Kennedy lies about autistic people, he puts autistic people at risk, as they have often been at risk in the past. But the attack on difference, the idea that people who are different are a tragedy and a burden and that they have nothing to contribute — that is fascism. And it is a danger to almost everyone.

[And if it’s Mary Miller lying about trans people, it’s a matter of denying that they even exist.]
